Resumo(s)
Esta investigação tem como principal objetivo estudar a relação entre a ansiedadeestado, os mecanismos de coping e a perceção de suporte social em mulheres com
diagnóstico confirmado de cancro da mama. A amostra foi constituída por 72 mulheres,
com idades entre os 31 e 83 anos (M = 49.90; DP = 10.16). O protocolo de investigação
inclui: Questionário Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey, Questionário
COPE reduzido e o Inventário de Estado-Traço de Ansiedade e um questionário
sociodemográfico. Os dados foram recolhidos por meio da disseminação de um
questionário online, bem como em consulta de oncologia de um hospital privado.
Os resultados mostraram que a ansiedade-estado em mulheres com cancro da mama não
se encontra diretamente relacionada com a presença ou ausência de doença oncológica
ativa, mas sim com os estilos de coping utilizados. Estratégias adaptativas mostraramse protetoras, enquanto estratégias desadaptativas se associaram a níveis mais elevados
de ansiedade. A perceção de suporte social, apesar de elevada nesta amostra, não se
revelou estatisticamente associada à ansiedade-estado. Estes resultados reforçam a
relevância de promover o desenvolvimento de mecanismos de coping adaptativos como
forma de proteção psicológica em mulheres com cancro da mama.
This study aims to examine the relationship between state anxiety, coping mechanisms, and perceived social support in women with a confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer. The sample consisted of 72 women aged between 31 and 83 years (M = 49.90; SD = 10.16). The research protocol included the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey, the Brief COPE questionnaire, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Data were collected through the dissemination of an online questionnaire and during oncology consultations at a private hospital. The results showed that state anxiety in women with breast cancer was not directly related to the presence or absence of active oncological disease, but rather to the coping styles employed. Adaptive coping strategies were found to be protective, whereas maladaptive strategies were associated with higher levels of anxiety. Perceived social support, although high in this sample, was not statistically associated with state anxiety. These findings highlight the importance of promoting the development of adaptive coping mechanisms as a form of psychological protection for women with breast cancer.
